Skiers Line Up to Buy Other Skiers’ Lost Luggage

Scottsboro, AL – Alabama may not be the first place that comes to mind to purchase ski and snowboard gear and apparel.

But Scottsboro is home to Unclaimed Baggage Center, a 40,000-square foot clearinghouse for stuff that the airlines could never match with the owner. Combining the deals of Black Friday and the uniqueness that comes from this one-of-a-kind store, Unclaimed Baggage Center will host its 34th annual Winter and Ski Event this Saturday. Shoppers will start to line up at 6 p.m. the night before to make sure they have first look on top winter and ski equipment from brands like North Face, Columbia, REI, Arcteryx, Marmot, Burton, Nordica, K2 and Rossignol.

During this event, Unclaimed Baggage will host contests and special events throughout the day for shoppers. One event will be the 60-second showdown with three guests racing to try on the most ski apparel in a 60-second time period. Staff will also be rolling out racks of unshopped items at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. so everyone will have a chance to find something special.

“People travel from all over the country for this one-day Winter and Ski Event, because not only will they will find unbeatable prices on high-quality, name-brand winter sports equipment and clothing, they will also have fun during their shopping experience,” said Unclaimed Baggage Center’s brand ambassador Brenda Cantrell.
The store holds thousands of items specifically for this event that have not previously been displayed on the sales floor. Doors will open on Nov. 7 at 8 a.m. CST. For more information, visit www.unclaimedbaggage.com.
